There are two reasons for this news item. First, I want this issue resolved. Second, it allows me to post the most awesome picture ever and ever. The story is simple. Mojang, the company behind the immensely successful Minecraft, is working on a second game called 'Scrolls', which has been in development for a while now. As it turns out, Bethesda has sent a cease and desist notice to Mojang - they claim 'Scrolls' infringes on 'The Elder Scrolls' trademark. As a fan of both Minecraft and Bethesda, this is just silly.

I fail to understand why you even bother posting if you're so upset with Thom's opinion. Not counting the fact that you obviously completely missed the point as this article has nothing to do with patents, if Thom's stance on the US's laws for patents relating to software annoys you so much, why do you bother visiting OSNews (never mind posting)? It seems to me like you might be better off not bothering visiting this site at all. After all, this being the world wide web, I'm sure there's a countless plethora of other sites that are more than capable of catering to your tastes. Surely you would be better off spending your time reading something that upsets you less because, judging by your past comments, you don't seem to take too kindly to opinions that don't aline with your own. Maybe not visiting OSNews would be a good thing for you. Maybe that way your blood pressure would not spike quite so much. I know that I would certainly not miss your less than relevant contributions.
